Lovely stay in the heart of stone town. The hotel is really beautiful and clean with comfortable rooms and balcony. The aesthetics captures the stone town beauty perfectly. The location is close to everything. You can walk to the Forodhani food market and Darajani bazaar. The staff is so friendly and kind. Shout out to Panther who went out of his way to make our stay comfortable :D
